Owners in New Canaan ## Higher-income owner situations With more than one source of income common here, each business, rental or side activity gets its own reconciled books, and estimated tax payments are put aside as money comes in. See also [Connecticut bookkeeping](/bookkeeping/northeast/connecticut) and the [higher-income Northeast towns](/bookkeeping/northeast/higher-income-towns). ### What we focus on - Owner pay planned and recorded the same way every month, whether you take a salary, draws or distributions - Estimated tax payments set aside as income arrives, so the bill is never a surprise - Each business, rental property or side activity kept separate and reconciled - Records ready for your tax professional, including about any pass-through entity tax election your state offers We keep the books and records. Tax advice and elections are for you and your tax professional. Beyond the books ## More than books: planning and cash Some owners are happy with accurate books. Others, in New Canaan and elsewhere, reach a point where they need forecasts, margins and a plan, but do not need a full-time finance executive. Fractional CFO support is a few hours a month of senior financial attention instead of a full-time hire. It sits on top of your monthly books. For tax returns, audits or legal questions we work alongside your CPA or attorney, and we are not a CPA firm. ### What that can include - Seasonal cash planning for the slow months - A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual - Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer [What a fractional CFO does →](/bookkeeping/guides/what-is-a-fractional-cfo) State filings ## What the state expects from businesses in New Canaan, Connecticut Recurring state report Annual Report, filed with Connecticut Secretary of the State, Business Services Division, every year.

Our only office is in Cranford, New Jersey, so we do not have an office in your area. Bookkeeping is done online, in accounting software that belongs to you. **What does bookkeeping look like for an owner in New Canaan?** Expect monthly reconciliation of business accounts, consistent owner pay entries, tracked estimated tax set-asides and clear reports for your tax preparer. The figure Wikipedia gives for New Canaan ($141,788 median household income (2000 census)) is about the place as a whole, not any one household. **What matters most in a retailer's books?** Point-of-sale totals are matched to deposits, inventory purchases are separated from operating costs, and sales tax is tracked by period.
